While the future of electric scooters, offered by companies like Lime and Bird, remains uncertain in Chicago, a local startup is bringing its scooter service to the city by targeting the real estate industry.
Ridy, founded in 2019 by Guru Medasani, operates an electric scooter service designed to let riders get around town more easily. But instead of directly targeting riders, Ridy targets apartment and office building managers, who pay the company for a set of its scooters to keep on their property and then provide the scooters to tenants as a free amenity.
